So my girl and I were car shopping for her this weekend.
I wrote a list of questions for my girlfriend to ask the salesman, as she sometimes wants to participate, so I make her feel good and let her have her say. Long story short, one of the questions I put down for her, thinking she would catch it and shoot me a ridiculous look, she ended up asking the salesman. It was silence for about 3 long seconds and then me and the salesman started laughing our assess off. The look on his face was priceless. Needless to say, she was pissed at me making her look like a fool. At first I couldnt understand why she was so mad, but then I came to my senses. it was wrong of me to put her in such an embarassing situation. Ruined my whole day. Didnt get laid either frown

Your probably wondering what the question was at this point. She asked the salesman, 'Does it have a reverse gear?'

LMFAO smile I thought of such an assinine question because I find it ridiculous when car advertisements make a bullet point for the obvious, such as:

Air conditioning
AM/FM Radio with CD player
Tachometer
Power windows

Stuff like that. Like, really? It has air conditioning. Does it have a reverse gear?

Before you all jump down my throat, every car in the U.S. has come standard with that equipment forever.

Also, the car we test drove, well the salesman came with us and the whole time was going on and on about what a rare gem it was being a used car, he hasnt seen such a clean used car in a while rolleyes, blah blah blah. When I pulled back in the dealer lot I smelled something burning. oddly enough the salesman went back inside instead of staying outside with us after the test ride rolleyes good sales man eh. I opened the hood and the engine was smoking! LOL I went back inside and he says, "So, how did you like it?" I just laughed and said, "Its smoking, I left the hood open for ya. Have a nice day."

I'm assuming you were buying a Bike Engined Car and just wanted to know whether it had a reverse box fitted wink

Technically, your girlfriend/wife is your mate, as like animals, most of us tend to "mate" for life!!

My Ka (oh yes) has none of these.

Oddly, it's only the tacho I miss.
